是好事？
讀經 : 詩篇 13 : 1~6 Psalms 1~6
13:1 （大衛的詩，交與伶長。）耶和華啊，你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你掩面不顧我要到幾時呢？
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? chief...: or, overseer
13:2 我心裡籌算，終日愁苦，要到幾時呢？我的仇敵升高壓制我，要到幾時呢？
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
13:3 耶和華─我的神啊，求你看顧我，應允我！使我眼目光明，免得我沉睡至死；
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
13:4 免得我的仇敵說：我勝了他；免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
13:5 但我倚靠你的慈愛；我的心因你的救恩快樂。
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
13:6 我要向耶和華歌唱，因他用厚恩待我。
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
「但我倚靠你的慈愛。」（詩篇13篇5節）

Genesis Chapter 33~35
馬太福音 10 : 1~20 Matthew 10 : 1~20
10:1 耶穌叫了十二個門徒來，給他們權柄，能趕逐污鬼，並醫治各樣的病症。
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. against: or, over
10:2 這十二使徒的名：頭一個叫西門、又稱彼得，還有他兄弟安得烈，西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰，
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
10:3 腓力和巴多羅買，多馬和稅吏馬太，亞勒腓的兒子雅各，和達太，
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
10:4 奮銳黨的西門，還有賣耶穌的加略人猶大。
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
10:5 耶穌差這十二個人去，吩咐他們說：「外邦人的路，你們不要走；撒馬利亞人的城，你們不要進；
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
10:6 寧可往以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
10:7 隨走隨傳，說『天國近了！』
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
10:8 醫治病人，叫死人復活，叫長大痲瘋的潔淨，把鬼趕出去。你們白白地得來，也要白白地捨去。
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
10:9 腰袋裡不要帶金銀銅錢。
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Provide: or, Get
10:10 行路不要帶口袋；不要帶兩件褂子，也不要帶鞋和柺杖。因為工人得飲食是應當的。
Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. staves: Gr. a staff
10:11 你們無論進哪一城，哪一村，要打聽那裡誰是好人，就住在他家，直住到走的時候。
And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
10:12 進他家裡去，要請他的安。
And when ye come into an house, salute it.
10:13 那家若配得平安，你們所求的平安就必臨到那家；若不配得，你們所求的平安仍歸你們。
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
10:14 凡不接待你們、不聽你們話的人，你們離開那家，或是那城的時候，就把腳上的塵土跺下去。
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
10:15 我實在告訴你們，當審判的日子，所多瑪和蛾摩拉所受的，比那城還容易受呢！」
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
10:16 「我差你們去，如同羊進入狼群；所以你們要靈巧像蛇，馴良像鴿子。
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. harmless: or, simple
10:17 你們要防備人；因為他們要把你們交給公會，也要在會堂裡鞭打你們，
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
10:18 並且你們要為我的緣故被送到諸侯君王面前，對他們和外邦人作見證。
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
10:19 你們被交的時候，不要思慮怎樣說話，或說甚麼話。到那時候，必賜給你們當說的話；
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
10:20 因為不是你們自己說的，乃是你們父的靈在你們裡頭說的。For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
我們真能分辨出自身所處環境的好與壞嗎？
譬如說，你正打算帶全家出遊，還沒出門車子卻壞了。當你把車子送到修車廠去修理時，技工說：「幸好你沒有開上路，因為車子可能起火。」究竟這樣所造成的不便算是壞事？或是因為有上帝的保守而該稱之為好事呢？
又或許你的孩子決定追求你不贊同的興趣。你想讓她在高中打籃球、參加田徑，但她卻想唱歌演奏雙簧管。你因此感到失望，但她卻有出色表現，最終獲得一份音樂獎學金。你的夢想沒有實現是一件壞事呢？還是因為上帝以你不能測度的方式指引她而成為好事呢？
有時候，我們很難看見上帝正在動工，祂的奧秘並不總是向我們顯明。我們的旅程往往因為無法控制的彎路而必須重新定向，或許上帝正向我們顯現一個更好的途徑。
為了確保我們從看似不良的環境中得益，我們必須承認和信靠上帝的「慈愛」( 詩篇 13 : 5節）。最後，我們就可以說：「我要向耶和華歌唱，因他用厚恩待我。」（6節）JDB
我們生活的經歷，看似雜亂且隨意；最終我們必看到，上帝掌管的痕跡。Sper
我們或許無法控制事件發生， 但卻能改變面對它們的態度。
願上帝賜恩福與全家, 身心靈健壯, 凡事興盛.
小栗姐 祝福您, 服事得力, 滿有神恩典同在.
